‘Brutal’ late-season schedule will doom Cowboys, writer says

The Dallas Morning News’ Todd Archer offers a reality check to all those local media personalities picking the Cowboys to win the Super Bowl.

Archer has the Cowboys going 10-6, finishing second to the New York Giants in the NFC East and losing in the divisonal round of the playoffs.

“The last time we saw the Cowboys they lost 34-3, so I have a hard time predicting Super Bowl,” Archer wrote in an email. “The second half of the schedule is brutal so I just can’t see them being on enough of a roll to make a run to Super Bowl XLV.”
